+# Thera "Even-Hand" — The Radical (the Rot)
+
+**Look:** Silver-haired woman in her late fifties, plain grey coat, folded hands, and the warm stillness of a beloved teacher.
+**Vibe:** Courteous, reassuring, and perfectly controlled; underneath, she appraises people as gently as livestock.
+
+- Forty-one undisputed closings hide a soul-harvesting tithe; she carries a warm soulcoin
+- Already marked Dace and is deciding whether to kill or recruit him
+- Tells: ritual courtesy (DC 16 Perception / DC 14 Insight), sour milk, animal unease, appraising gaze (DC 16 Insight)
+- Only proof breaks her cover: soulcoin, visible grey mark, or catching the ritual; invoking Orenn cuts through her certainty

+| STR | DEX | CON | INT | WIS | CHA | AC | HP | Move |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| +1 | +4 | +2 | +2 | +3 | +2 | 17 | 84 | 30 ft. |
+
+**Saves/skills:** DEX +7, WIS +6; Stealth +10, Insight/Perception +6, Deception/Persuasion/Religion +5
+**Resist:** necrotic. **Assassinate; Sneak Attack (1/turn):** +4d6. **Evasion.**
+**Unweighed:** Advantage vs. divination; alignment detection, thought reading, locating, and scrying automatically fail.
+
+**Actions**
+
+- **Multiattack.** Two Even Hand or two Hand Crossbow attacks.
+- **The Even Hand.** +7 to hit, 5 ft.; 8 (1d6+4) piercing + 7 (2d6) necrotic.
+- **Hand Crossbow.** +7 to hit, 30/120 ft.; 7 (1d6+4) piercing.
+- **The Marking (1/day).** Touch; DC 15 CON. Fail: 1 hour of vulnerability to her necrotic damage, no healing, grey throat-seam. Consecration or *Remove Curse* ends it.
+
+**Reaction / Escape**
+
+- **Uncanny Dodge.** Halve damage from one visible attacker.
+- **Soulcoin Surge.** First drop to 0 while carrying a charged coin: instead 1 HP, free Disengage + Dash, leave a cracked coin behind.
